Essity has been promoting the importance of hand washing since years back. Global Handwashing Day is an important milestone every year to talk about what, why and how when it comes to handwashing. In many parts of the world, there are still millions of people that do not have access to proper hand hygiene facilities. Even in developed countries, we see the general public demands a better access to handwashing facilities out in public.
